Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:24:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1605963The reporters/commentators are doing a poor job of piecing this together. The common denominator isn’t Jeff Fisher, it’s Buddy Ryan. Go back to the Eagles’ infamous “Bounty Bowl” game, and then map the Buddy Ryan coaching tree — Fisher and Gregg Williams both are Ryan disciples. And then figure out what Rex and Rob are up to.

(FWIW: I don’t doubt that other coaches — guys not connected to Buddy Ryan — are offering bounties, but the Buddy Ryan connections are becoming awfully suspicious.)

The jersey’s will have areas that they can get hit and hooks for flags. If and when a defensive player gets near him, he can both take a flag and hit him in the designated area yada yada and so on.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 12:32:46 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1605268Even Rodney Harrison and his teammates thought that Fisher was a dirty coach and taught his guys to go low and try and take out knees. Harrison had just come back from a previous injury in 2008 I believe and one of the Titans slapd*^k WRs dove into Harrison’s knees. The entire Pats defense was incensed. I remember Tedy Bruschi just about going over the deep end after that play.

Think of that for a second…Rodney Harrison thought THAT coach was dirty.

I dunno…while I think Dungy comes off on the righteous-good guy side of too many NFL issues, I think he’s kind of onto something with indicating there’s something to what the Titans were doing on their sidelines. If you follow the trail of bread crumbs, I think you end up finding a real old-school NFL practice that had been “thought” lost to the ages.

It gets tiring listening to “Mr. Lily White” chastise every other team in the league except the Colts. Personally, I see no value to his being on TV as he adds NOTHING to any discussion.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 08:14:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1605196Jeff Fisher is the common denominator when you consider he’s a disciple of the original Bounty Bowl coach, Buddy Ryan.

Gregg Williams and Chuck Cecil are Fisher underlings who are just carrying on the tradition.

Ironic that Fisher has been on the NFL Competition Committee for so long. He just hasn’t been caught.

He’s just another lapdog for the Manning family who has gotten quick on the Twitter draw.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 05:32:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1605108Wonder why Mr. “IT’S A DARK DAY FOR THE NFL” doesn’t seem more disturbed over this? Maybe because he threw a game to him back in 07? Browns fans know what I’m referring to. It’s outrageous that Fisher is on the Competition Committee helping form rules suggestions and he hires Williams…TWICE???? Not one person in the world is naive enough to think Fisher has no idea what’s going on.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 04:48:43 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1605054Dungy has a biased against the Titans as division rivals so his opinion is skewed and blurred. First of all, Williams had left the Titans prior to Dungy’s start with the Colts. So Dungy is accusing Fisher and Schwartz by association or he is making stuff up. Either of these makes Dungy look like a witch hunter. Secondly, Manning is famously difficult to blitz or even touch in the pocket. While he’s basically gone uninjured most of his career, Steve McNair’s injuries are as long as a 6 year old ‘s Christmas list. It’s more likely McNair was subject to bounties. Perhaps even by the saintly Colts. More likely, its football and inflicting pain is the objective and any hitother can bethey seen asthe along bounty shot. Analysts like Dungy shouldn’t be throwing allegations of bounties around without proof. He seems to be starting a witch hunt.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 04:16:44 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1604994The assassination of Shawn Merriman was one of the most blatant cheapshots in football history

Ben Hartsock motion across the line just before the snap dives right into Merrimans legs and cuts him down resulting in the knee injury he has never recovered from

One of the most blatant cheapshots I’ve ever seen.
__________________

Merriman was “assassinated”, but that wasn’t the play where it happened, blue18hutthutt.

Merriman laughed that play off as Hartsock ran a CFL man in motion play where he ran into Merriman with a running start before the ball was snapped. However, Harsock hit him in the chest, so no damage done. Merriman was still going 100% after that play finished.

Where the injury happened was a couple of plays later on a screen pass to Lendale White. Merriman rushed the passer on the play, turned around to chase as the screen pass was completed and was about 10 yards away from any action as White was being tackled. Right at that time, RT Stewart was tying up Merriman around the chest with a block when center / NFLPA President Kevin Mawae dove directly into Merriman’s knee.

The next snap, Merriman didn’t move from his two point stance as the Titans converted on a 3rd and short dive play. The next play, Merriman was gone from the game.

If you watch the “NFL Replay” version of the game, you can kind of see a skirmish of bodies going on at the bottom left corner of the screen and can’t see the hit. However, if you watch NFL Films’ “NFL Game of the Week” telecast, they use the coach’s tape and show the hit clearly.

Fisher is guilty as sin over that one – and Lions current head coach Schwartz was Fisher’s defensive coordinator at the time it happened. The Titans were by far the dirtiest team in the league during the mid to late ’00’s.

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 04:04:08 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1604972Buddy Ryan did this before. The Bounty Bowl is well known in the NFC East. I don’t recall him, or the Eagles, getting a severe punishment. Granted the time has changed…but I believe the punishment is not going to appease many of the posters here. Call me a cynic, but Goodell along with the NFLPA havent led me to believe their tripe

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 03:09:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=337076#comment-1604890So Tony, I’m sure Bill Belichick had a bounty on Manning as well, right?

This is what Roger Goddell’s moralistic stupidity is bring to the game – people are treating the fundamdentals of the game as some kind of war crime. Pay players to knock opposing players out of the game? What in the name of Buddy Ryan are we coming to?
